Sonic's 30th anniversary was in 2021.
Correct but why stop celebrating, Sega haven't.
Sega's had a hard enough time. Let them enjoy.
They could make it all up by re-releasing the Dreamcast and putting the original PSO servers online.
Most mention of it has disappeared by now due to linkrot, but there was that sale of refurbs from spare parts back in the mid 2000's: https://www.engadget.com/2005-12-13-sega-not-re-launching-dreamcast-only-selling-refurbs.html
